First time viewer here. Good stuff! Loved the “ran out of ink” explanation for the washed out colors on the cases. 😂 Finally a 13” iPad that doesn’t crush the bank. My only wish is that it used the new Magic Keyboard. I need to buy one anyway since I’m coming from an 11” M1 air, so a better one would make the crazy cost a little easier to swallow. One thing I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen in any reviews is that the pencil magnets seem much stronger. Probably because there are two now that straddle the camera. And it’s about time they put that camera in the right place.

[@priyakaran7554]

Just ordered the M2 ipad Air in student discount and I'm happy about the decision 🐬

[@BKapiArts]

I just got the pro and my dad now has the 13” air for an early Father’s Day gift (he’s 75 and wanted to have a bigger on screen keyboard when he has to type anything 🤷🏻‍♀️). The screen is great and it just seems so much like mine I really started to wonder. However, I’m a visual artist and animator so I figured I would benefit from the differences. I’ll be using it mostly with my sketchboard pro and apple pencil but you are definitely tempting me with the Magic Keyboard. Maybe this is the time I will make that leap. And this time I went with the magnetic “paper type” screen protector instead to see if I liked it and so far I’m pleased. There always seem to be subtle differences in the paper/matte screen protectors but my last one was applied day one and never had to replace-not sure why I don’t go through them as often as many others but I’m interested to see if I enjoy having the ability to remove for impactful viewing. 🐬

I have iPad 10 which I found as a steal for only 150$. It works great, and it does all my needs except better gaming performance and the Mac Ventura iPad feature which are both on the air m2.

Does your iPad M2 air also gets warm/very warm during everyday usage ? Everyone with the new air M2 especially 13 inch experience this and apple says that is completely normal and every electronic would always be warm during extensive usage.

And my time with the iPad Air M2 11 inch not only did the screen for my liking completely suck but also the only 60hz display was making me nauseous. Other than that the iPad Air is amazing. The only reason I chose the iPad Pro was the promotion 120 hz display. For example, I was using my phone 10 times more than I was the iPad Air due to nausea of the terrible screen

I didn’t want the 13” because the way I’d use it (on a keyboard case 95% of the time) I’d might as well use my laptop. I already have a mba 15 and iPad mini 6, so the 11” fills the gap.

Lots of reviewers say just get the regular Ipad 10th gen which here in the UK is Currently only £349. Shall i get that or spend a bit more and get the new 11 icnch air? I wouldn't be interested in the new Pro models as they are way too expensive for my needs.

[@LiLiJughead]

[@Rinnara21]

I have the 10th gen and it’s a great device, however, I am considering giving this one to my children and getting the new air m2 because of Apple intelligence coming later this year.

[@OGUfohunter]

@@Rinnara21 I finally bit the bullet and bought the new 13 inch iPad M2 in starlight. It's a nice bit of kit with a huge screen and I'll keep it but being honest my OnePlus pad is better. The OnePlus pad seems to have a better display and it definitely has better speakers with quad speakers. It also has 144hz motion compared to 60 with the air. It also costs half the price of the iPad. Having said that the iPad is good but if I was you I'd buy a really good refurbished iPad Pro with the M1 chip instead of this Air. You'd probably get one for the same money as the new air and you'll get a much better display, quad speakers and also this will get the Apple intelligence update as well later this year. By all accounts iPads with the M1 chip onwards will get the update but not all phones will strangely. I just bought a new iPhone 15 plus not long ago and annoyingly that will not get the Ai update. The 15 pro and Pro max will get it but no other iPhones. 👍

After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?

I have the iPad Air 11” M2. It’s all you say it is, not worth the extra $$$ for a pro (IMO). I use it to stream content and some online service tools related to my line of work. My old Air 2 was more than capable, but a replacement battery was needed and not worth the cost. I do not agree with the screen protector at all. One small scratch on my Air 2 in ten years, without a screen protector. As to the apple keyboard ? Why ? I got a TypeCase keyboard. Can swivel it and well over half the cost of the one with the fruit on it. … WHERE THE F%$# IS THE DOLPHIN EMOJI !

[@sbam936]

I upgraded from an iPad Air 2 as well and also never used a screen protector on it with only 1 scratch. But I did have a case that when not using covered the screen. One valuable lesson I learned from my air 2 is to upgrade the storage … I had upgraded to 64 gig storage on my air 2 and that’s the only reason it was able to last me for 10 years. I only recently started to hit the storage limit so with that in mind I got the 256gig option on the M2 Air. I do wonder if I should have gone with 512, but 256 is X 4 storage my last iPad.
